I misinterpreted the earlier attempts to downplay the validity of the MGM video as poor attempts to discredit it specifically rather than dissatisfaction with non show source material in general. If the posters had made it clearer how they felt about parenthetical material beyond the show itself I would have agreed with them and if I had realized that it is probably common then I wouldn’t have been so suspicious of their motives. Honestly, I thought the whole only the show is canon thing was a smokescreen and they were attempting to cherry pick their facts to support their views. It is that practice that I regard as intellectually dishonest because of its hypocrisy. It appears I may have judged them unfairly. To promote good relations, I am certainly not above apologizing for any misunderstandings on my part; so I offer one now.
Thank you for your explanations it certainly adds far more clarity to my understanding of TV show fandom.
